Default I Got Rhythm

But maybe not the right kind. Here's a link to an interesting conjecture in the NY Times as to what an underlying cause of pd symptoms may be. And why DBS can help to alleviate tremors.

Default brain wave entrainment

There is a shareware program called "Brainwave Generator" which uses the brain's natural synchronization with rhythmic sound to manipulate one's mental state. I use it a little bit and find that at 6 hz it stops the morning "curly toes" within minutes.

Default

I tried using Brainwave Generator to help relieve some symptoms. After about five minutes I got a sever headache and never tried to use the program again.
